Labour Secretary Mikail Shipper on Sunday said a 530-acre industrial park for the readymade garment (RMG) sector is in the offing. “The government will set an industrial park for garment factories at Gazaria upazila in Munshiganj,” he said adding, “We’ve already completed the preliminary works for the acquisition of about 530 acre land.” The Labour Secretary was addressing a dialogue, titled ‘Rana Plaza Tragedy and Beyond: An Update on Commitment and Delivery’, organised by Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) at Brac Centre Inn. Speaking on the occasion, Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defence director general Brig Gen Ali Ahmed Khan stressed the need for increasing the number of fire service stations. “We’ve already requested our ministry for increasing the number of stations, but the land is scarce,” he said, according to a news agency.
